The Marine Mammal Rescue Center of the Vancouver Aquarium welcomed the new seal.

On Monday, employees of a salmon farm found that in the northern part of Hardwick Island, they floated irregularly in the waters of Hardwick Island.

Unable to dive and swim aside, the puppy was rescued by employees of a salmon farm and taken to the Campbell River with the help of a DFO, then taken to Vancouver and taken to the Rescue Center on Monday evening.

Once there, the rescue center team treated the puppy with subcutaneous fluids, gastric protectors and antibiotics, and called it Mo.

“She is a 2018 puppy, but very small for her age,” said Emily Johnson from the Rescue Center. “She has dehydration and heavy weight, which suggests that she cannot thrive after weaning, but she’s angry, which is a promising sign.”

The veterinary team hopes to conduct a more thorough medical examination in the coming days and is optimistic about the recovery of Mo.

The Marine Mammal Rescue Center in Vancouver rescues, rehabilitates and releases about 150 animals per year, most of which contain baby seals. Team the last saved and restored the northern fur seal in 2017.
